The left-back is currently on trial with Rovers and put in a strong display against United. He kept the lively Mangotsfield attack at bay and out some decent deliveries into the United danger zone. He also provided the cross for Lewis Ellington’s goal.

The former Aberdeen and Leicester City defender – who most recently played for Hurlford United - has been given a good run in the Rovers side and they could make a decision on him pretty soon.

The former Weston-super-Mare central defender – who joined Rovers in June – was handed the captaincy by Chris Hargreaves and, as well as operating well in the heart of defence, showed of his leadership qualities to a good standard.

He dealt with the physical approach from United and will probably be given a good run in the Checkatrade Trophy games next season.

The midfielder impressed in the centre of midfield and was arguably the standout player from the win over Mangotsfield. He showed off some great skill and technique to grab the opening goal – side-footing a strike from just outside the area past the experienced Steve Phillips.

The striker caused plenty of problems for the Mangotsfield back four and he out jumped everyone to convert Michael Kelly’s cross from a tight angle. One for the future, and one we hope we see plenty of next season.
